Get Lady Sarah Ashley's look from Australia
Bring some Aussie warmth to your spring wardrobe with fashions from the Nicole Kidman romance
Settle down to watch Australia and buckle up for a visual feast. There are the breathtaking landscapes of rugged northern Australia, the intensity of World War II conflict and the sumptuous fashions of the 1930s all wrapped up in a sweeping epic romance. But what else have we come to expect from Baz Luhrmann, the writer/ director of such theatrical and flamboyant fare as Moulin Rouge! and William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet? We’d feel disappointed if he had skimped on the spectacle and nowhere is this trademark flair more inviting than in the wardrobe of our heroine – Lady Sarah Ashley.
A stuffy British aristocrat, Lady Sarah ventures far from the homeland when she travels to Australia, marking the start of a physical and spiritual journey that sees her open up to new experiences, new friendships and new loves. Hawaiian born but Australian raised actress Nicole Kidman breathes life into the role reuniting her with her Moulin Rouge! colleagues Luhrmann and production/ costume designer Catherine Martin (incidentally Luhrmann’s wife) – a significant collaboration as Martin nabbed an Oscar for the last time she dressed Kidman onscreen. No pressure then.
